Work Experiences

I bring a diverse professional background that combines leadership, technical problem-solving, quality assurance, and customer-focused operations. As an independent software and game developer, I have spent the last several years designing interactive 3D applications, scripting gameplay systems in Unity and C#, and optimizing user experiences across multiple platforms. My experience also includes quality assurance testing for Activision Blizzard, where I collaborated with development teams to identify and resolve complex issues, as well as technical data verification work involving OCR and enterprise software systems. In management roles, I led teams of more than ten employees, improved customer satisfaction and operational efficiency, and consistently exceeded performance expectations in fast-paced environments. This blend of hands-on technical development, analytical thinking, and leadership has given me a strong foundation as I pursue a career in network engineering and infrastructure technology.
